How do I convert pace to speed, or speed to pace?

Pace (minutes per km or mile) and speed (km/h or mph) are inverses: speed = 60 ÷ pace-in-minutes. This calculator computes both directly from your distance and total time, so you don't need to convert manually.

Can I use this to plan a target race time?

Yes, enter your goal distance and desired finish time to see the pace per km/mile you need to hold, useful for setting splits before a race.

Pace Calculator

Calculate running or walking pace and speed from distance and time.

How this is calculated

Pace = total time ÷ distance. Speed = distance ÷ (total time in hours)

Assumptions used in this calculation

Constant pace: Pace and speed are calculated as an average over the full distance and time entered; the calculator does not account for pacing variation, hills, or splits within the activity.

About this calculator

The pace calculator finds your pace (minutes per km) and speed (km per hour) from a distance and total time, useful for planning runs or races.

Worked example

5 km in 25 minutes

Result: Pace = 5:00 /km; Speed = 12 km/h
